HÔTEL DE VILLE
Read moreThe Macon City Hall is found in the former Montrevel hotel, built between 1746 and 1751 by Abel-Michel Chesnard de Layé who passed it on to his son in 1753, who himself defeated it in 1767 in favour of Comte Melchior de Labaume de Montrevel. Rich owner in Bresse and in Macon, he then undertook major expansion. He built the great Comedie hall (now the Council Chambers), hosting a stall, an orchestra and a stage surrounded by two sets of boxes. There he played many parts that please the nobles and bourgeois of Macon. Comedie was destroyed by fire on the night of 8 to 9 February 1907. Before being guillotined during the French Revolution, the count of Montrevel sold his hotel to the city of Macon on March 8, 1793. You can admire the lavish woodwork in the marriage hall, a library housing the medallion portraits of ancient philosophers. In the entrance hall, you will find the stairs with its wrought iron railing as well as the large living room for weddings and the boardroom that are worth seeing.
CHÂTEAU DE NUITS-SUR-ARMANCON
Read moreThe current castle dates back to about 1560, and on one side, a three-storey façade overlooking the Armançon River retains its defensive appearance. On the other hand, a lawn and a porch on the first floor were added in the following centuries. Inside, the decor is contemporary with the great-great-grandparents of the current owner. To see: the chimneys in the lower rooms and on the main floor are impressive for their large coats. The wide flights of stairs, whose ramp comes from the Buffon forges, replaced a narrow central staircase at the end of the 17th century. The panelling added in the 18th century in the dining room, the octagonal room fitted out to receive Marshal Davout with dignity, or the billiard room (with its magnificent lion-headed pool table) are just a few examples of the many interior installations that have transformed, over the centuries, this bastion of religious wars into a pleasure residence. The objects date from the 16th century to 1910 and all come from the castle. Also interesting is the venerable room (with old crew clothing), an inner well, a bread oven and a room dedicated to Buffon, who stayed here several times.
TOWN HOTEL
Read moreThis building was built in the th century to host the Ursulines Convent, the nuns who devoted themselves to educating poor girls. Sold as a national property after the Revolution, he became a city hotel in 1802. From the convent, only the entrance of the chapel, dating from the th century, is located next to the current entrance of the city hall. Two stairs were erected in 1865. On the facade there is a crest bearing the coat of arms of the city. It represents a pelican mother opening the heart to feed her little ones. Gouttes blood drops from the bird's gosier. A currency accompanies the animal which is the emblem of the city: Sic my quos diligo that can be translated by «Thus do me for those whom I cherish». The municipality offers various exhibitions of artists or local crafts, as well as lectures, lectures and concerts.

PORTE SAINT-ANDRE
Read moreThis door to the east of the city was, from the first century, the eastern outlet of the largest west-east route of the city : The. Maximus. Like the other three main doors, it was once surrounded by two semicircular towers, one of which is still conserved and houses the Protestant temple Saint-André. It presents two large arcades (the passage of vehicles is now prohibited) and two small ones for pedestrians. It is topped by a gallery of ten stoneware arcades dating from late antiquity, whose vaults were restored by Viollet-le-Duc in the th century. It is near this door that tradition situates the martyrdom of Saint-Symphorien.
PORTE D’ARROUX
Read moreIn the north of the city, this door Senonica (Porte de Sens) gave access to Cardo Maximus. Entirely built in the sandstone of Mont Saint-Jean, in the th century it is almost complete campaign side, while the city side only remains the two central bays and a lateral bay. Decorated with pilasters cannelés with corinthians capitals, the upper gallery date of the era augustéenne (th century). The doors of Autun must not be confused with arches of triumph, since they are never included in the ramparts.

REMAINS OF THE WALLS OF POLIGNY
Read morePoligny was once protected by twenty-five towers and five doors. It should be remembered that its location was strategic and coveted: between the Plaine plain and the Jura. The inhabitants therefore protected themselves by building rectangular walls that lost all utility when Franche-Comté became French after the Treaty of Nijmegen in 1678. Many remains of these ramparts are still visible: the towers of Paradise and Sergenterie for example. They date back to the th century. The latter, recently restored, is a beautiful example of medieval fortification. Small reminder: Machicolated (the stones around the top of the tower) made it possible to pour boiling oil into the enemy. Note that the square tower, the so-called "tower of the Library", which today belongs to Friant lyceum (the former convent of Des), was also part of the ramparts. It dates back to the th century.

THEATRE
Read moreIt was built from 1778 to 1784, at the instigation of intendant Ch.-A. de Lacoré, on the plans of Claude Nicolas Ledoux, the architect of the royal saltworks of Arc-et-Senans. Only the facade remained intact, with the precious Louis XVI interior missing in a fire in 1958.
RIVOT DOOR
Read moreA former door of the city built in the th century, it is located at the foot of the citadel, and opens naturally on the Faubourg Rivotte. This is the only city door still in place, and you will notice the sun engraved on the pediment in tribute to Louis XIV. Along the Pontarlier road, we see the Carved door, opened in the rock by the Romans to pass the aqueduct of Arcier feeding the city into water.
COURT BUILDING
Read moreLocated behind the city hall, which was formerly a body with him, the courthouse, built in 1585, is the work of the architect Mannerist Hugues Sambin. Above the porch, closed by a beautiful entrance grid of 1861, two statues represent Justice and the Force. Inside, the former parliament hall of Franche-Comté, adorned with beautiful 1909 th-century woodwork and a ceiling painted by P. Gervais in, became the formal courtroom.
PREFECTURE HOTEL
Read moreA former building building, this building was built between 1770 and 1778 on the plans of Frignier and Victor Louis led by Comtois Nicolas Nicole at the request of the new administrator Ch.-A. Lacoré, friend of Voltaire and Aesthetic. The main façade retains some austerity, unlike the garden side organized around a small rotunda with a dome. Inside, very beautiful ensemble of lambris of the Louis XVI.
HOTEL DE GRAMMONT

He became the residence of Antoine Pierre de Grammont, Archbishop of Besançon in the th century. From succession within the family to sale to an individual and to the municipality, the'is transformed into a school and then in boarding schools. Finally acquired by the Regional Council at the beginning of the 1980 s, the latter makes arrangements respecting the historical character of the different rooms and settled there in 1984.
